1. Hotel is located next to Metro Universitat station, and just 5 minutes walk to Plaza Catalunya and Las Ramblas. The location is very ideal, near the metro and yet far away from the crowd. I stayed on the 7th floor, facing the road, but the noise from the road was not noticeable as the windows did a good job of shutting out the noise from the road.

The shuttle buses (A1 & A2) between airport terminals 1 & 2 respectively, are located at Plaza Catalunya, and easy to find. From the hotel, it is just a simple 5 minutes walk to the Plaza.

2. The room was clean. Bedroom slippers and kettle were not provided. Soap, shampoo and basic toiletries kit was provided. Bed was comfortably hard, pillows were long and comfortable.

3. Staff were always courteous and helpful, and proficient in English. However, when I called to enquire about the possibility of a late check-out, the staff came across as being curt in rejecting my request. I understand that the hotel was full, but the tone definitely could be improved. Perhaps it was unintentional, so I gave the staff the benefit of the doubt.

4. The free wi-fi worked well enough.

5. I did not have the breakfast in the hotel. Instead I had them at the cafes across the road, which worked to be EUR2 for coffee, and EUR3-4 for a nice sandwich.

If you have the chance, go up to the roof at level 8, which has a nice view, a small pool and deck chairs for you to lounge.

This is a nice hotel to stay because of the convenient location, clean and nice rooms, friendly staff. However, because of the relatively high price of the rooms, I would consider it being worth the money you are paying for.

We really liked this hotel and would stay here again if we return to Barcelona.

That said, I couldn't give 5 stars because of some minor problems in our room, which was 605. We couldn't get the English channels on our TV (and I had particularly wanted to watch a football match); the hairdryer was very weak and emitted tepid air (I notice someone else complained about this); the LED reading light by our beds suffered from erectile dysfunction and were therefore useless.

Apart from these irritations, we were happy in Hotel Jazz. The rooms were larger than average and had ample storage space for clothes. The breakfasts were very good. We were particularly pleased with the service from the friendly and helpful staff.

Just come back from staying 3 nights at Hotel Jazz. It is in a great central location and the airport bus takes you almost to the door, so very convenient. The rooms are clean and modern with a huge comfortable bed. If I go back to Barcelona, I will definitely stay here again.

Yes, the location is perfect..
How about what the hotel jazz provides to the customers?
I can not find the following stuffs in my room some normal hotels usually provide:
1. some cheap clock radio
2. channel guides for TV
3. coffee pot with coffee and tea bags
4. a box of facial tissues (kleenex kind)

When I asked coffee pot, they said "we will provide cups with hot water. you can call the restaurant."
When I asked facial tissues (there are only rolls of toilet tissues), they brought me 4 individually vinyl packed (travel pack) tissues.
When I asked a bucket of ices, I had to go to restaurant in the 1st floor. They charged me 2.50 Euros.
I don't know how much they will charge a cup of hot water. I will let you know later..
I paid about $180/ night , weekdays including breakfast, 2nd week of November (seems to me that it becomes a low season now in Barcelona) .
Of course, the TV in my room has 60 some channels: only one English language channel can be found, a cartoon channel. No BBC or CNN..

After the first night, it is NOT PERFECT at all !! I should say, POOR.
(Staffs are very polite and try to help customers, though. They let me check in early when I arrived on 11: 30 AM.)
Two nights to go.. I already regret with my decision for this hotel.
